Home run liquidates the Lions

An old chronicler said that baseball is a real box of surprises. Last night’s game in Kanasín lived up to that saying.

The Lions were six outs away from losing and turned the score around in the eighth inning with an impressive offense. The longhairs were one strike away from reaching nine straight victories and one swing ended that streak. The truth is that, after a home run by emerging Brian Sánchez, the Tigres de Quintana Roo took a break at the start of the season and beat the Leones 6-5, tying the series in dramatic fashion last night at the “Víctor Cervera Pacheco” Stadium. ”.

Those who follow in the footsteps of the creators of baseball also say that these types of games, like the second in this series, are the ones that teach and foster the love for which many call the king of sports. If you like baseball, a victory or a loss in a game like this may not matter.

The Lions, despite losing, continue to have a privileged first position, tied with the Red Devils (they lost 2-0 in Campeche against the Pirates).

The second night of baseball in Kanasín, with a good start on the sidelines, but a weak one in the diamond zone (behind the plate), seemed to be decided in the third inning, in which the Tigers, with a little luck, scored four runs against Odrisamer Despaigne. Between Cameron Gann and the relievers, they managed to maintain a 4-1 lead, but in the eighth, against Isidro Márquez Jr., the Lions turned around in an electrifying way.

Four-run attack that had a triple by Josh Fuentes as the star hit and that Webster Rivas crowned with a double.

The Tigers, however, did not die. Jesús Cruz seemed to control a situation with a runner on second with a strikeout for the second out, and had pinch-hitter Sánchez on two strikes. He was careless with a free ball and the tiger’s club hit the acoustic shell. The noise of the octave was silenced in the ninth.

Yucatán opened its final turn based on Norberto Obeso. Yeison Coca ran for Obeso and was out in a dopleplay while Yadir Drake struck out, and Charles was the 27th out.

That’s baseball. No way.—Gaspar Silveira Malaver
